Today we’ll learn how to make a classic knitted scarf. Warm, sturdy and built to last, it’s the perfect finishing touch for countless outfits. Once you’ve made it, you’ll find it hard to take it off. The two tubular edge stitches on both the right and left sides finish the scarf in a way that’s almost imperceptible, yet essential to give it that extra touch of refinement.
The yarn chosen for this project is Cashlove, made with recycled cashmere – long live circular economy, it’s good for everyone! In our store you’ll find plenty of shades, each with a strong personality.
Let’s get started.
